It would be nice if this flag name would be a bit more generic - 
G_TYPE_FLAG_MATCH_CONTEXT only; bindings then could arrange marshaling 
*any* call of such object into the appropriate context.  This could help 
to overcome possible bindings' problems with planned deprecations of 
GTK+ threads API.
